We've acquired a whole kit as we have a rabbit that sometimes doesn't drink enough water and gets a touch of the GI stasis.
The first thing is a package of the Oxbow Critical Care, and a large feeding syringe to inject said critical care or water.
Our vet gave also gave us an IV bag of saline, as well as the tubes and a supply of needles (as well as some instruction) so we can administer subcutaneous fluids if required. This is a little beyond what I'm comfortable with, but I will if I have to.
Other things to have, and these are going to be GI related as well are:
The critical care, syringe and saline IV stuff we got from our vet for about $25. The drugs were a little more, also from the vet, although a pet pharmacy would likely have them at a reduced price. I'm not totally willing to do math under duress though, so I had the vet portion out the meds for us as well. Keep an eye on expiry dates too.
Even though we're kitted out for bad things to happen, our first instinct is always to take the fuzzy bastard to the vet. We live only a few blocks away from a 24hr emerg vet that has small / exotic vets on call.
